Vets Day

I am looking forward to working today because the schools will put on a Veterans Day program which includes the chorus and orchestra playing, The Battle Hymn of the Republic and it will bring tears to your eyes. This year in the midst of two wars most Americans have never been in battle an it is difficult to understand what it is like. To get a feel for what happens take a few minuets to listen to the following song by Eric Bogle called And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda. Its about a young Aussie soldier being sent to fight the Turks in WW 1 at Gallipoli Bay. Be prepared as these lyrics are brutal. https://soundcloud.com/undercovermusic/and-the-band-played-waltzing
